AS the public schools are now in
session, and it being one Of the re-
quirements of my office as well as d
pleasure to visit these schools,
will be engaged during the remain
ing part of the summer in various
parts of the county and consequent
" cannot be at my Office in Pulas
XII. Those expecting to teach
should have applied for certificates
before now, or they should have at,
tended the teaGherg' institute and
been examined as the law pre-
scribes. Nevertheless when ever an
occasion demands il | will accom-
MEDIATE an applicant either at home
or st my Office if we can make ar
engagements to meet at either place.
A lot of registers are expected this
week and they with other necessary
blanks for teachers and directors
will be found on the table in my
Office. 1t will greatly oblige me il
the clerks will comply with my re
quest and send rae this week the
names of the schools and the teach
ers employed for the same in their
respective districts.
The state teachers association
will convene in jackson Aug. go
and be in session four days. Teach
ers who expect to attend will please
address Prof. A. z. Bourland, Jack
son, Tenn, and Prof. Frank Good
man, Nashville, Tenn. The former
will make arrangements to entertain
Won in Jackson and the latter will
send yoI certificate which will en-.
title you to q two-thirds railroad
fare.
The Giles County Institutes re-
Gently held in Pulaski were quite
satisfactory to me and [ have many
thanks for the editor of The CITI
ZEN for publishing the proceedings
of the same and for all who partci-
pated in the meetings by their work
or by their attendance,
AS many of our teachers and
some of our directors have but little
If any experience concerning the
system of making up their reports,
perhaps a few remarks just here
will not be objectional. Let each
teacher keep register and at the
end of his term make out an alb
stract and hand it TO the clerk OF
his district and not to the supt.
The clerk will then make out q re
port from these abstracts and file
it in the Office OF the county supt.
So the sup't will just have one re
port from each district to examine
when he makes his annual report to
the state supt.
AS / find many young teachers
are often at loss concerning reg
ular program for daily work in
their schools, the following will be
found convenient for eur country
schools: u. S. History, 9th Read
er, 18th Reader, Sd Reader, I'd Read
er, Ist Reader, Primary, Recess, Ad-
vanced Grammar, Primary Gram
mar, 3d Reader, I'd Reader, lst
Reader, Primary, Spelling, Noon
Primary, LIST Reader, I'd Reader, LIST
Geography, 2nd Geography, Sd &c
ography, Recess, Primary, 1st
Reader, ID Reader, 1st Arithmetic
ID Arithmetic, Sd Arithmetic. The
teacher can time this to suit him
self and the reasons for this arrange
ment will soon become obvious
Even this program if timed proper
ly will require eight hours. The
country teacher always has too
many classes. Four recitatiOns q
day properly conducted is enough
for the lst, I'd and 3D. grades.

Garfield made the strongest speech
against the force bill, on the rcpub-
lican side. 1t not only helped tC
defeat it, for which blessed be his
memory, but it was the entering
wedge that split the republican par
ty into liberals and radicals and
opened the way to ultimate demo
cratic ascendency. Sam Randall
defeated the bill, however, by in
domitable lnteposition ofparliamen
tary distractions until its advocates
exhausted, abandoned the effort Il
pass it. 1t is not putting too higl
estimate upon it to say that San
Randall saved the republic. The
bill subverted the state courts ant
centralized the power in congress t.
make and enforce laws governing in
dividuals and punIshing crime. TIL,
republic would have become an in
tolerable despotism and could no
have survived. 1t was aimed espc-
cially at the south and would hay,
inaugurated reign of terror tia
would have led to war, anarchy ant
run,. Sam Randall avcrtcd the dir
calamity, and yet there can be foun,
southern men who abuse him. l
